In the fifth book of the Mickey Haller series, defense attorney Mickey Haller, also known as The Lincoln Lawyer, takes on one of the most personal and emotionally charged cases of his career. When he is hired to defend Andre La Cosse, a cyber-pimp accused of murdering a prostitute, Haller is stunned to discover that the victim is Gloria Dayton, a former client whom he once thought he had helped turn her life around.
Wracked with guilt and regret, Haller is determined to uncover the truth, but the case quickly proves to be far more dangerous than he expected. As he investigates, he discovers a web of corruption, powerful enemies, and deadly secrets that go beyond a simple murder. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that Gloria may have been killed because of something far bigger than anyone imagined.
In the courtroom, Haller faces one of the toughest prosecutions of his career, with a relentless district attorney, shady witnesses, and a jury he calls The Gods of Guilt, who will ultimately decide his client’s fate. But as threats mount outside the courtroom, Haller finds himself in a race against time to uncover the truth—not just to win the case, but to protect his own life.
With intense courtroom drama, shocking twists, and deep moral dilemmas, The Gods of Guilt is a gripping legal thriller that explores redemption, justice, and the consequences of past decisions in Mickey Haller’s most personal case yet.
